Korkeakosken mylläri
Kirja kertoo Huittisten Korkeakosken kylän ihmisistä ja elämästä sisällissodan ja Suomen sotien aikaan. Mukana on tarinoita ja havaintoja myös nykyhetkestä.

Living on the Land
This book, which is the PhD thesis of the author presented to the Faculty of Forestry of the University of Joensuu (Finland) in December 2001, analyses changes in the forest cover in the Ohangwena Region, particularly focussing on the domestic use of wood in constructions on farms. 'The results indicate that deforestation was caused almost entirely by clearing of land for permanent agriculture. ... The frequent change of homestead site has been an important factor in creating the characteristic agroforestry landscape' of the area.

The discussion in the book deals with household sizes, homestead density and constructions, land cover structures and frequency of vegetation species. (BAB).
